By improving the analysis developed in the study of $\s_k$-Yamabe problem, we prove in this paper that the De Lellis-Topping inequality is true on 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds of nonnegative scalar curvature. More precisely, if (M3,g) is a 3-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold with non-negative scalar curv…
In this note, we compute the second variational formula for the functional ∫Mv(6)(g)dvg, which was introduced by Graham-Juhl and the first variational formula was obtained by Chang-Fang. We also prove that Einstein manifolds (with dimension ≥7) with positive scalar curvature is a strict local maximum wi…
We consider the Riemannian functional defined on the space of Riemannian metrics with unit volume on a closed smooth manifold M given by R2n(g):=∫M∣R(g)∣2ndvg where R(g), dvg denote the Riemannian curvature and volume form corresponding to g. We show that there are lo…
Given a compact Riemannian Manifold (M,g) of dimension n > 2, a point x_0 in M and s in (0,2). We let 2*(s) = 2(n-s)/(n-2) be the critical Hardy-Sobolev exponent. The Hardy-Sobolev embedding yields the existence of A,B > 0 such that (\int_M|u|^{2*(s)}dv_g)^{2/2*(s)} \leq A\int_M |\nabla u|_g^2 dv_g +B\int_M u^2 dv_g fo…
We show that a complete m-dimensional immersed submanifold M of Rn with a(M)<1 is properly immersed and have finite topology, where a(M)∈[0,∞] is an scaling invariant number that gives the rate that the norm of the second fundamental form decays to zero at infinity. The class of submanifol…

We consider a complete noncompact smooth metric measure space (Mn,g,e−fdv) and the associated drifting Laplacian. We find sufficient conditions on the geometry of the space so that every nonnegative f-subharmonic function with bounded weighted L1 norm is constant.
I In this paper, first we study a complete smooth metric measure space (Mn,g,e−fdv) with the (∞)-Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature Ricf≥2ag for some positive constant a. It is known that the spectrum of the drifted Laplacian Δf for M is discrete and the first nonzero eigenvalue of $Δ…

This paper relates the boundary term in the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula on 4-manifolds M with the renormalized volume V, as defined in the AdS/CFT correspondence, for asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metrics on M. In addition, we compute and discuss the differential or variation dV of V, or equivalently the variation …
In this short paper we study Lfp-Liouville property with 0<p<1 for nonnegative f-subharmonic functions on a complete noncompact smooth metric measure space (M,g,e−fdv) with Ricfm bounded below for 0<m≤∞. We prove a sharp Lfp-Liouville theorem when 0<m<∞. We also prove an $…

We prove that Rp res…
The Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor of a metric-measure space (M,g,e^{-f}dv_{g}) plays an important role in both geometric measure theory and the study of Hamilton's Ricci flow. Under a uniform positivity condition on this tensor and with bounded Ricci curvature we show the underlying space has finite f-volume. As a consequen…
We consider a complete biharmonic submanifold φ:(M,g)→(N,h) in a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded from above by a non-negative constant c. Assume that the mean curvature is bounded from below by c. If (i) ∫M(∣H∣2−c)pdvg<∞, for some 0<p<∞, or (ii) …
An isometric immersion x:Mn→Sn+p is called Willmore if it is an extremal submanifold of the Willmore functional: W(x)=∫Mn(S−nH2)2ndv, where S is the norm square of the second fundamental form and H is the mean curvature. Examples of Willmore submanifolds in the unit sphere ar…
We study some function-theoretic properties on a complete smooth metric measure space (M,g,e−fdv) with Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature bounded from below. We derive a Moser's parabolic Harnack inequality for the f-heat equation, which leads to upper and lower Gaussian bounds on the f-heat kernel. We also prove $L^…
We derive a Harnack inequality for positive solutions of the f-heat equation and Gaussian upper and lower bounds for the f-heat kernel on complete smooth metric measure spaces (M,g,e−fdv) with Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature bounded below. The lower bound is sharp. The main argument is the De Giorgi-Nash-Moser t…
We derive a local Gaussian upper bound for the f-heat kernel on complete smooth metric measure space (M,g,e−fdv) with nonnegative Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature, which generalizes the classic Li-Yau estimate. As applications, we obtain a sharp Lf1-Liouville theorem for f-subharmonic functions and an Lf1-u…
In this note we prove a new ε-regularity theorem for the Ricci flow. Let (M^n,g(t)) with t\in [-T,0] be a Ricci flow and H_{x} the conjugate heat kernel centered at a point (x,0) in the final time slice. Substituting H_{x} into Perelman's W-functional produces a monotone function W_{x}(s) of s \in [-T,0], the pointed e…
We study both function theoretic and spectral properties on complete noncompact smooth metric measure space (M,g,e−fdv) with nonnegative Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature. Among other things, we derive a gradient estimate for positive f-harmonic functions and obtain as a consequence the strong Liouville property under…

Let the integral of f along maximal geodesics vanish on an appropriate open subset of the space of geodesics in M. Under the assumption that the metric g is real-analytic, it is shown th…
